Verdict

What A Treasure has proven to be a real find this season with two wins in four starts and Luca Cumani's filly is fancied to win again at the main expense of Awwal Malika and Jack Oliver. The selection has proven herself to be very much suited by some cut in the ground and should be suited by any rain that falls. She has also run ok on good to firm so this daughter of Cadeaux Genereux can defy a 4lb rise in the weights for her recent narrow success. The stable's horses continue to run well so she must have decent claims of going in again. Jack Oliver has proven himself on varying ground but his best runs have come on a quicker surface so he must enter calculations here as long as the ground stays on top, whilst Tipsy Prince needs to bounce back from a below-par effort on the all-weather. Ella Woodcock is consistent so has place claims once again, as does Bluebelle Dancer if building on his recent third. Lordship now looks high enough in the weights, so of more interest may be Metropolitan Chief whose recent form has a solid feel to it. Awwal Malika continues to find one too good and holds Metropolitan Chief on their running behind Caravel last time out, however What A Treasure can plunder the loot once again.
